This article is written in a series that will tell you about Abraham Lincoln, who he was and what his personality was. 1828-A 19-year-old peasant employee arrives in the American commercial city of New Orleans for the first time - seeing such a large city for the first time in his life. A scene collided with his eyes and then this scene became forever attached to the distant corners of his mind - he saw that human beings were being bought and sold in the city market - human beings were being bought and sold like commodities. The helpless human beings in chains were being unloaded and loaded from ships. The cruelty was that advertisements were put up in the markets of New Orleans on which day, how many children, how many human beings would be bid and how many men, children and women among them. It would also be written that the buyer should bring cash because the company that sells slaves does not deal with the loan. The irony was that all these people were black-white had enslaved black-this young man was watching the market and was staring inside, but he couldn't do anything. Because he himself was a mediocre employee on a small boat-yet he told his partner that if I had the chance I would stop this fog at all costs - saying that this 19-year-old villager is so big He had dreamed that he should have been the most powerful man of his time to interpret it, and look how it happened then how? This is the Sagamore River, and this is the beautiful small town of New Salem on its banks. This is the place where Abraham Lincoln spent the first six years of his youth, and here he was awarded the medals for the biggest failures of life. But what a successful man he was before he came here. Luck was constantly playing with it. When he was only nine years old, his mother died of a poisonous herb in his milk. Then her father brought her stepmother ... She had no complaints from her stepmother, but never from Abraham's own father. Rather, he did not like his father at all. Her father also used to make fun of her. He was just getting an education so that he could read and write. He himself memorized parts of the Bible and Shakespeare's poetry. But he did not understand this calculation plus addition. He was not a good man at all. There were strangely unwanted cuts on his face. He could not speak English well, his accent was awkward. If there was one thing that stood out in his whole personality, it was his stature. He was six feet, four inches tall, and that's what made him the center of attention everywhere, and then his conversation. So friends, there was a wooden store in New Salem from where Abraham Lincoln began his career as a storekeeper. There were very few people living here in this town. These were his customers. The rest of the people would stop for a while traveling in the river and would buy a few things from the store. The store had candles, small bottles of wine and some utensils. But the failures of destiny. Lincoln, who came here in search of a better career, lost his career a few months later because the store owner closed the store due to persistent losses and fired Lincoln. He had the first badge of personal failure on his chest. In the first nine months of New Salem, although Abraham failed, he achieved a victory. That was the reputation of an honest man.
